What's the potential fallout from the George Zimmerman murder trial?

With its all-female jury now in place, the trial that's become a hot button for racial tension in America is one step closer to a resolution.

Well, I do get that within the legal profession, female jurors have been seen as more lenient and forgiving; thats not new. I remember that going back to the Menendez brothers trial. However, I did not expect MSM news outlets carping on this out of the box, as if to ensure that Zimmerman is convicted.

Sure, all races have differences to a point. But there is nothing in the brain structure of blacks that classify them as other than human. Ergo they have the same capacity for violence that a white guy does. No more or less.

Now learned behavioral traits are another matter entirely and that’s my point. Many blacks in America have been kept on the plantation thanks to liberal ideas and control mechanisms. Some escaped it and are no different than anyone else in nrmal society. My own son in law being one, He decided that he could stay in an east coast gang zone and die or not. So he left and found great success in America without any of the libs helping him.

He is one of many examples. He didn’t riot, kill et all over the Saint Trayvon BS. Nor will he. Nor will many like him. But then he didn’t have libs controlling his perceptions of life either.

All of this comes back to liberals. Every bit of it. Take liberalism out of America and overnight you begin a turnaround. Every race ‘can’ succeed in America just fine. But until you remove the true core of the issue from the equation, that cannot happen.

Investigation of the president’s eligibility has been totally held hostage to the fear of race riots

Easiest way around "riots" is to announce "You break it, you own it; You get shot while breaking it, no charges filed against the shooter."

“You get shot while breaking it, no charges filed against the shooter”

Exactly the opposite of what those with the authority/power to make such a declaration want to happen.

We are in complete agreement. One of the reasons I quoted the Fred article was he was pointing out in the article that these are not the blacks working beside you in your office. And I see it as “the american black culture”. It is dominated by blacks, but it is not a racial thing. It is a cultural thing. And it is a VERY bad culture.

One nit point, though. You said, “But there is nothing in the brain structure of blacks that classify them as other than human.” I agree with that remark, but I believe there IS something in the brain structure that classifies them as other than caucasian. And vice versa.

I’m not jewish, but I believe there is a reason that the great mathmeticians are jewish. Their brain function is different than the caucasian (or black) brain function. It is not cultural. It is racial. And this is where racial strife comes from. Racists (of any race) are afraid the other race may have some difference that may allow them to come out on top. Racism is based in fear.

There will be riots regardless of the verdict, and not just in Sanford

Possibly in cities and in some neighborhoods in cities but not likely in small towns, suburbs and rural areas where F.R. members live. Not that I have any stats concerning where members live, I don't but I'm betting that the huge majority of us live elsewhere from the inner city hoods where the racist rage will be vented.

Just as in all past riots, almost all the damage will be self inflicted by the racists and paid for by tax payers everywhere. Be prepared anyway because we should always be prepared.

Gee do you suppose white people will riot if Zimmerman is found guilty?

Trying to riot in Sanford would have to be the most lame brained idea. Normally the weather would matter most, it being 90F with 65-70% humidity; but more importantly, FLORIDA HAS AN ARMED CITIZENRY!

It is somewhat like Texas in banning open carry, but it has currently over one million CC carry licenses issued, and reciprocity with about half the US. So just because they are from out of state does not mean they are disarmed.

So they can protest all they want, but if they start breaking things, bullets will soon follow. I imagine that the Floridians will also video such events, in case the agitators try to claim that they “weren’t doin’ nothin’.”

Joe Scarborough’s saying that because there aren’t any blacks on the jury, if Zimmerman is acquitted the verdict should be immediately overturned by appeal.

Someone should inform that dope that an acquittal cannot be appealed...

Lynch mob justice took over as far as Zimmerman was concerned when he was arrested. And anyone who doesn’t think this “story” is timed and is to intimidate the jurors is,... well they are living in a fantasyland. George Zimmerman has the full force of the Government of the State of Florida and the full force of the main stream media out to lynch him.

I don't think so. Only a miracle will prevent George Zimmerman from being found guilty. The Whites will not riot. The Blacks. on the other hand probably burn a few cars, beat the hell out a few Whites, and loot some businesses to celebrate a guilty verdict. If, on the other hand, a miracle happens and a not guilty verdict is rendered,they will just up the ante and burn a lot of cars, beat the hell out ofa lot of Whites, and destroy a lot of businesses. Or, they can behave as civilized human beings, accept the verdict and do neither.

The only thing for certain is that the main stream media is going to do everything in their power to fan the flames of hatred from now until after the verdict.

But they won’t. instead, the police will protect and pamper them.

The subtle intimidation factor and emotion factor. The State is fully aware if the law and evidence trail is followed, Zimmerman will be acquited. The defense agreeing to it is what I do not understand.

I believe that early on Alen West came out for Travon.

Hell, based on the evidence, there was not even an arrest. The honest cops were ran off and replaced with crooks to get where they are now.

I thought the jury was sequestered? If they are, they’re not allowed to see/hear/read any news, to talk to family or anyone else about the case. Any protests would be beyond their seeing/hearing.

I was thinking "especially Jerry Rivers"... but... which takes precedent for him, the liberal PC side or the Hispanic side? Is he going to ignore that Zimmerman is Hispanic to further the leftist cause?

It’s not the masses - it’s a minority but they can do a lot of damage.
